Massage Therapy

Blending different styles and tools to create a customized session for you and your body.

All massage therapy sessions combine different modalities & techniques to create a holistic session for you and your body.

We will discuss before and during our session the use of different modalities, and you can always ask questions before and during the session!

What to expect: combining modalities, focus on your goals, working with your body’s systems.

SESSION LENGTHS

45min, 60min, 75min, 90min, 120min

  • Swedish & Relaxation

    Swedish techniques include gliding and kneading strokes, combined with compression, rocking, and friction to bring more relaxation and ease to our tissues.

  • Sarga Bodywork

    Sarga Bodywork the broad surface of the practitioners foot to deliver slow deep-tissue to engage the myofascial system.

    Available in sessions 60 minutes or longer.

    Learn more about Sarga here.

  • Hot Stones

    Hot stones help relax tense tissues, work into deeper muscles, and cultivate relaxation.

    Stones are heated to 125-135 degrees and used to apply medium and firm pressure.

  • Cupping

    While a lot of massage techniques utilize downward pressure on the tissues, cupping uses “negative pressure” or suction. Additionally, cupping is a novel stimulation for our nervous system, helping to aid in the release of chronic tension.

    Learn more about cupping here.

  • Myofascial

    Our fascia creates a continuous web throughout our bodies. Myofascial work uses slow and sustained pressure in order to work with these connective tissue fibers and guide them to change

    Working with the fascia can have body-wide benefits and increase relaxation. The pace of this work can also be very soothing to the nervous system.

  • Stretching

    Assisted stretching is helpful to integrate all the work during a massage therapy session.

    I will gently cue your breathing and communicate to find a safe and effective level of stretch.

  • Lymphatic Drainage

    Helps to stimulate and support the lymphatic system, especially with mild swelling or edema and in injury recovery.

    Lymphatic drainage involves light, rhythmic strokes that are calming and “downregulating” to our systems.

  • Clients are not required to wear a mask.

    If you are feeling well but have been around people who have been sick, it is very helpful if you wear a mask to your session. As a massage therapist, if I get sick I need to cancel all my appointments so as not to endanger my clients. Thus getting sick means I lose income. I appreciate your consideration in this matter!

    If you are not feeling well, please reschedule your appointment!

  • Please plan to arrive 5 minutes before your appointment time, so that you have time to settle in, and we can check-in while still starting your session on-time.

    Life happens! If you are a few minutes late you will still be able to receive your full length session.

    If you are more than 20 minutes late and do not notify me, I retain the right to consider that a no-show and charge you a fee. It is up to my discretion whether we proceed with a shortened session.
